Canon Updates HD Palmcorders With HF11, HG21 Versions
Canon's AVCHD HF10 camcorder got an excellent reception earlier this year, and now Canon have tweaked it slightly into the upcoming HF11 version. The most important tweaks are doubling the internal storage from 16GB to 32GB and the addition of a 24Mbps high quality MXP imaging mode. Otherwise, most features of the camera remain the same. Similar tweaks have been made to last year's HG10 HDD camera, adding in the 24Mbps shooting mode, a 120GB drive and now allowing movies to be saved onto SD card whereas before it was limited to still imagery. Both cameras will be available in August for $1,300. [AVWatch]

Above is ESO 99-4, a weird-shaped galaxy (probably the result of another collision) situated in the Triangulum Australe, around 400-million light years away from earth. [Wired]

Concept Samsung 82-Inch LCD World's Largest Ultra High-Definition
Samsung has just popped out a ridiculously large 82" LCD TV, boasting ultra high-definition resolution of 3840 x 2160. That is a four-times increase on conventional LCD standards, and word on the street is Japan has already begun testing video broadcast in ultra high-definition. We are sure that'll eat bandwidth faster than the cookie monster (Chris) eats cookies. That aside, the picture rendition is jaw dropping. More »

Sneak Peek at CBS' High-Def Super Bowl Gear
We know you'll be watching the Super Bowl in HD come February 4th, but ever wonder what it takes to bring you this colossal event in glorious high-def? Well, the folks at CBS wanna tell you as they've hired over 500 staffers, 47 HD cameras, and even went through the trouble of replacing the lights at Miami's Dolphin Stadium all in the name of high-def. But at the top of their tech list this year is a new super-slow motion camera called the Phantom V10 which has the ability to capture 2,000 frames per second. The camera, which is made by Vision Research, will be joined by six of Sony's latest super-slo-mo camera systems and an army of robotic, unmanned cameras. Enough gadgetry to make you a football fan—even if you're not. More »

HD Videoconferencing Lets Hollywood Bigwigs Judge You From Afar
While most webcams are stuck delivering choppy video, the LifeSize camera's cyclops eye delivers high-def 1,280 x 720 resolution feeds. Used mainly in the film industry, the camera lets casting agents interview wannabe actors and models without the agents ever having to leave their smug offices. Data is sent instantaneously through an IP address from one location to the other making it easier than ever for them to reject you. No word on its consumer availability, though the idea of videoconferencing in HD isn't too appealing, especially if it means having to shower before each conference. More »
